Both beers smelt of autolyzed yeast, dimethyl sulfide, Bakelite, burnt rubber, over-ripe cheese, and goat, with phenolic and sulfury notes..........We have a sense of how they tasted—now it's up to brewers to recreate it.
Too easy. I've got a couple of bottles in my brewing cupboard kept for posterity that fit the bill . The scientists can contact me on 555-GOAT.

hopefully some of the 170 year old yeast is alive, it would certainly be different from anything available today, but apparently they're not saying either way.

Pour your wort into a bucket and place it out on the lawn. You should get something close I'd imagine.
